Mike Morreale: Hynes said Zuccarello and Trenin have upper-body injuries and were close to playing in Game 3, and added: “They were trying to work through it so we’ll see. I hope these couple days help and we’ll see we’re at on Saturday.”
Zoe Pierce: Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson left last night’s game in the second period after a hit to the head by Hurricanes Taylor Hall. Sanderson played two shifts after the hit and then left. Hall received a two-minute minor for an illegal check.
Zoe Pierce: Right before Sanderson left the game, he blocked a shot, and it looked like he hurt his hand.
Defenseman Tyler Kleven returned to the lineup after missing the past nine games with an upper-body injury. Defenseman Artem Zub missed last night’s game with an undisclosed injury.
